ExpressionEngine on Nginx server

Question

Recently, I moved an EE site from Apache server to Nginx server. But there seems some issues while accessing any other page/link rather than HOME. Its showing only home page. I know that Nginx server does allow htaccess rules so I tested by with index.php on the same but no luck.

PS: EE Control Panel working perfect and I am using NSM Config Bootstrap

Could anyone please help if have faced such an issue? I 'll highly appreciate your help.

Thanks,

What configuration you use? what rules you setup in your nginx configs? For example, I use next configuration for Nginx+PHP-FPM:

server
{
    server_name www.example.com;
    return      301 $scheme://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    #access_log  /dev/null;
    #error_log /dev/null;

    access_log /home/www/example.com/log/example.com-access.log;
    error_log  /home/www/example.com/log/example.com-error.log info;

    if ( $http_user_agent ~* (nmap|nikto|wikto|sf|sqlmap|bsqlbf|w3af|acunetix|havij|appscan) ) {
        return 403;
    }

    root /home/www/example.com/public/;

    client_max_body_size       20m;
    client_body_buffer_size    128k;
    client_body_temp_path      /var/nginx/client_body_temp;

    location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|ico|xml)$ {
        access_log        off;
        log_not_found     off;
        expires           360d;
    }

    location ~ /\. {
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
        deny all;
    }

    location / {
        # the index directive checks first for "index.html" because
        # sometimes you need to rename "offline.html" to "index.html"
        # to take the site down during an update
        # if you can, move this to the HTTP level;
        index index.html index.php;

        # accept URI without index.php
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;

        # Remove index.php
        rewrite    ^/index\.php(.*)    $1    permanent;
    }

    # insensitive case on extension of PHP files
    location ~* \.php$ {
        # Zero-day exploit defense.
        # http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,88845,page=3
        # Won't work properly (404 error) if the file is not stored on this server, which is entirely possible with php-fpm/php-fcgi.
        # Comment the 'try_files' line out if you set up php-fpm/php-fcgi on another machine.  And then cross your fingers that you won't get hacked.
        try_files $uri =404;

        expires off;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/dev/shm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE default;
        fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE store;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
